Kiyum Meshutaf,’ but
most other days the
chanichim had peilut
outside of Beit Hatziruim.
Sometimes this meant
meeting at a local
migrash for ‘Yom Sport,’
while other days it means
getting on a bus and
traveling to the Technion
swimming pools for ‘Yom Bricha,’ to the north of Haifa
for a afternoon tiyul mayim, or to Tel Aviv for a day at
Luna Park.

Although each day at the Kayetzet looked different,
there was a familiar rhythm to the days. During the
school year, chanichim will often move freely between
the different spaces of Beit Hatziurim - the miklat, the
gan, and the migrash - as long as there is a madricha
in each space. They also tend to arrive and leave as
they wish since Beit Hatziurim is close to where most
of them live. However, the Kayetzet was mo re formal.
Each day the tzevet kept track of who had arrived for
the day and who had not, and each part of the Kayetzet
was structured with activities. Each day when the
chanichim arrived, they had lunch together by kvutza. A
local bakery donated 60 lachmaniot to us, and every
day one or two madrichim from the tzevet went to pick
them up and prepare lunch for the day. After lunch,
there were always a couple of mishbetzot determined
by the day’s theme, as well as a hafsaka or two. We
usually ended days at Beit Hatziurim with chugim, such
as sports, making decorations for the end-of-kayetzet
show, and singing.
